In my eyes it is stealing.

Yeah, what if he has a heart attack before he gets to the checkout....

In that instance I would suspect it might be overlooked, but I suppose that would depend on the outcome & the value of the item, I wasn't quite thinking of anything quite as drastic, maybe only having card payment & getting to the tills, to find all the CC machines offline.

Eating food and having the empty packet scanned used to be quite common BITD, I used to wander around the supermarket in Bristol in the 80's scoffing a bag of cheesy watsits. Other people ate out of fruit punnets. Over the years it just sort of tailed off......

What if you can't pay?

What do you mean? I am too poor to afford what I have eaten, or I get to the till and discover that my wallet is still sat on the hall table at home?
If the former then I would not have taken the item in the first place. If the latter I would have to do what I did several months ago when I filled my car with about £70 of diesel only to find I really didn't have my wallet. I explained the situation and then went back at the first opportunity to make the payment.

I think you're imagining the worst. I'm sure it could be easily sorted. I've forgotten my wallet at least twice with a full load of shopping and each time it was sorted.

@midlife @I like Skol @Crackle Have it your way, if you're happy to do it then go ahead, I don't & never would.

Personally I wouldn't do it, probably because I'd slobber down my t-shirt as I was walking but I know that some of the cyclists on ultradistance races do exactly that to save time.

I like to think I’m the same as you @postman , a good, kind, honest man however I once bid on a child’s bike listed on eBay for my daughter, I won it for £1, I can’t tell you how guilty I felt picking it up from a village nearby especially when the man handed the pound coin to his little girl and said ‘that’s the pound for your bike’! I don’t think he was too happy!

I've seen people give the cashiers empty packets to scan.

I do this too sometimes :smile:
Last summer, on a very hot day, I walked to the shops, drank a small bottle of juice while I did the shop, paid for it with the rest of my shopping.
The cashier was fine with scanning the empty bottle.
I have to say I have not seen what you all describe in our local supermarkets.
Of course I shop in other areas too, have not seen instances of consumed goods without paying.
Maybe in Glasgow they just get stolen for later consumption?
Who knows?
